In the vein of Pulp Shakespeare and Two Gentlemen of Lebowski comes Breaking Bard. A brilliant mashup of Bill Shakespeare and Breaking Bad. The show's only an hour, so it hits the highlights of the series (spoliers abound!). The script renders the tragic tale of Walter of Albuquerque into cleverly-crafted verses that hint at the Bard's greatest hits, and rounds the story out with broad strokes of comedic brilliance. If you're a fan of either Shakespeare or Walter White (or both! Especially both!)... full review

Maria von Trapp in a suit of power armor protecting Little Orphan Annie from the Xenomorph Queen. Let me say that again. MARIA VON TRAPP. IN POWER ARMOR. PROTECTING ORPHAN ANNIE. FROM XENOMORPHS. Holy. Crap. If that's not enough (and it damn well should be!), the clever songs, well-executed gags and Top-Notch puppetry should be enough to motivate you to head over to the Elephant for this brilliant hour of entertainment. This show is easily a frontrunner for Best Musical th... full review

At the intersection of Epic Trolling and Life As Performance Art lies "Nigerian Spam Scam Scam." An exciting, escalating story about African internet con artists being conned in return by a character actor with too much time on his hands, featuring an ending that will drop your jaw when it drops the mic, and make you jump to your feet with applause. See it. Believe it. Love it. I did. ... full review

One of the best pieces of physical theatre I've ever seen (and the first time I've actually "gotten" the story being told in a dance piece - a real achievement). This athletic trio speaks volumes while barely uttering a syllable ("Dobkins!"). Absolutely enchanting and engaging. Do not miss this show. ... full review

A fantastic, entertaining production based on a clever and well-executed concept. I'd expect nothing less from what amounts to be a team of Fringe All-Stars - both on stage and behind the scenes. I want more Poe show! Seriously, make this a podcast or something!... full review

The Four Clowns do it again! The Halfwits' Last Hurrah swings for the fences, and through top-notch slapstick, clowning and circus acrobatics, knocks it clear out of the park! An outstanding comedic offering with a surprising amount of heart. The narrative could stand to be refined and clarified a little bit, but that minor quibble will certainly not ruin your enjoyment of this vaudeville spectacular. Put this on your must-see list. PS - In addition to the show being straight-up awesome, the ... full review

I've been seeing theatre for almost 30 years, and I've been creating it for over twenty. As a result, it takes a truly special production to earn a standing ovation from me. After seeing Professor Nakamoto's Nexus of Numbers... well, I can't even begin to explain what it was I beheld. See, the show isn't just one trick after another after another, like a typical magic show. No, instead this is an hour-long experience featuring several different thought experiments - ranging from the construction ... full review

I've been a Lost Moon Radio fanboy since I first heard "Whites Only Fountain" with Ben Hill from the light booth at The Theatre of the Arts Arena Stage at the inaugural Fringe Festival in 2010, and I've made an effort to see every LMR show I can since then. Million Dollar Hair departs from the crew's usual format, but this incarnation provides a bevy of new, eccentric and fun characters for the Lost Moon universe, as well as bringing back a few old favorites. Lauren Flans once again demonstr... full review

Some of the most fun and original clowning I've seen this side of Charlie Chaplain. Beau & Aero are absolutely amazing, and I'm looking forward to recommending their show to everyone I know! See you guys in San Diego! ... full review

There are Fringe Shows, then there are Shows at the Fringe. This is the latter, and I mean that in the best possible sense. Generation Me is a beautiful, moving, thought-provoking, relevant, passionate, honest and well-crafted production that is so well-executed from top to bottom, it blows away the typical Fringe fare. This show is beautiful, and you need to see it. Bravo. Bra-vo. I hope this company returns and brings us more next year. ... full review
